1. Introduction
This guide should help you with your Fishing and Digging needs. It will help
you to find many good items to aid you in Albion. It is also how you get most
of the Silver Keys to open the Silver chests
---------------------------------------------
2. Fishing
To fish you first need a fishing rod. Once you have one you can fish anywhere
there is water deep enough. This includes almost all water except small
puddles and the ocean. There are a few small puddles you can fish in but most
of them are too small for fish to live in.
There are two types of fish. Orange which have a value of 12 and Silver which
have a value of 18.
---------------------------------------------
2.1 Location of Fishing rod
Go to Fisher Creek and destroy wasps for a fishing rod.
Buy at Bowerstone South, Oakvale, Twinblade Camp, Bowerstone North
Find Fishing Rod at Lychfield Graveyard near Nostro's Tomb behind some
cuttablebushes.
---------------------------------------------
2.2 Controls
You will notice when you get near water that you can fish at the fishing rod
will appear on the D-Pad in the lower left corner of the screen. You can also
map the rod to the D-Pad in the equipment menu by selecting the fishing rod
and then selecting which direction you want it to be mapped to. To access the
fishing pole you just mapped hold the R trigger and press the directional
button you assigned it to. You will not be able to fish in any place that
would not normally show the fishing rod even if you map the fishing rod.Once
at the fishing screen you will notice in the lower right corner you can Reel
in with the A button and Quit fishing with the Y button. As soon as you have
a fish on the line you have to press A to set the hook. You can tell when you
have a fish when the controller begins to rumble. This is your cue to start
reeling in. Note that you can turn off the rumbling in the options menu.
This will make fishing almost impossible. Once you have a fish on the line
you should always wait for the controller to stop rumbling. When the
controller rumbles it means the fish is pulling on the line. If you try to
reel it in when the fish is pulling you can break the line. Whenever the
controller is not rumbling press A repeatedly. The colored bar in the corner
represents how much tension is on the line. Light Green means no tension and
Bright Red means the line is almost snapped. If you accidently reel it in
while the fish is pulling the bar will grow more and more red depending on how
many times you press A after the fish starts to pull. Note that the colored
bar is not visible when the fish is overlapping the hook symbol. The object
is to get the fish symbol on the bar to reach the left side of the bar. When
it is nearing the left edge you will get a warning saying "Keep going you have
almost got it." Once it is all the way to the left edge you will have caught
the fish. If you fight the fish to much a warning will appear saying "Careful
the line is about to snap." If you continue to press A after this the line
will snap. If you don't fight at all and the fish reaches the right side of
the bar you will be told that the fish got away.Be careful when fishing
because not all fish are equally strong. The farther you get into the game
the bigger and stronger the fish are. So when it had took 5 times of pressing
A while the fish was fighting to snap the line, it would later take only 2.
---------------------------------------------
2.3 Fishing Ripples
This section will try to lead you to each of the ripples you find around
Albion. These ripples don't contain fish. They have much better items hiding
beneath the water. They appear as ripples with little bubbles floating out of
the water.

3. Digging
To dig you will need a spade aka the shovel. You can dig anywhere that is
considered outside. There are some outside places that will not let you dig.
If they are rock or stone you usually can't dig. Also cobbled paths can't be
dug. Try all over Fable on different terrains and see what places work and
what doesn't.
---------------------------------------------
3.1 Location of the Spade
Buy the spade at Bowerstone South, Oakvale, Twinblade Camp, Knothole
Glade, Darkwood Camp
Get it in a chest at Lychfield Graveyard near the gravekeeper's house.
---------------------------------------------
3.2 Controls
To dig you need to either map the spade to the D-Pad or stand on a spot that
automatically makes the spade icon appear. I will refer to the spots where
the shovel automatically appears as dig spots. Once the shovel icon is in
the lower left corner just press the corresponding direction and if the
terrain is right you will start a dig cut scene. If you find something the
hero will say "Yeah" and the item will show up on the screen. If he finds
nothing he will say "Awh" and nothing will show up.
---------------------------------------------
3.3 Dig Spots
Most of these will make the spade appear on the D-Pad.

4. Dig glitch into new areas
This is mentioned in the codes & secrets section. All you need to do is dig
and you will notice your character moves slightly in the opposite direction
he was facing when you started digging. This can be used to access areas you
can't normally get to.The two most notable areas are Twinblades Camp and North
Bowerstone.
You can access both of these areas before you are supposed to get to them.
This can mean new items earlier in the game.
---------------------------------------------
4.1 Bowerstone North.
Posted by maxdragon1021 on the message boards.
Go JUST up to where the guard would stop you so that you'll see the load text
"Bowerstone North". Stop when you see that, then go to the cellar entrance
BEHIND the tavern. If you look at the wall on the hill next to the cellar,
you'll see that the ground covers a little of the wall. Turn your back to that
spot an dig up to the top of the hill. If you start going off, just keep
aiming for that spot. Don't be upset if it "resets" you back to ground level,
that just means you jiggled too much. When you get there, KEEP DIGGING
THROUGH! You want to go all the way to the outside of the exterior wall.
It'll look like you wont be able to pass, but you can if you sneak. Once
outside the wall, you'll see another long wall that almost runs off the map.
Dig through that one and walk towards the gate where the guard keeps giving
you crap. Then you'll hit the load screen for Bowerstone North. From here you
can walk all the way to the Prison Path or to Lychfield Graveyard. In
Lychfield Graveyard you can dig through the gate and continue to explore the
rest of the graveyard.
Note: You don't have to dig all the way to the wall. Just dig about three
times then if you hold sneak and walk you should be able to get all the way
to the wall. This also works in other places you dig glitch into. This
saves a lot of time that you would spend digging.
This was brought to my attention by darkelfkain@comcast.com
---------------------------------------------
4.2 Twinblades Camp
Just dig while facing away from the giant door in Clifftop Path. You can
then go and get the bandit clothes and enter the first part of Twinblades
Camp where the Cullis Gate is. You can then dig through that gate as well as
the one into Twinblades Elite Camp. You can dig through the gate into
Twinblades Tent but I have never been able to get the next map to load.
